Great menu range. I got an entree sized pasta and still needed to take some home! Delicious, authentic flavours, kind and personable service and a lovely vibe. Will absolutely be back.

Mount Gravatt

About the restaurant

There are few cuisines more comforting than Italian food and with everything going on in the world right now, we sure need as much comfort as we can get!

As always, at Vapiano, we’re continuing to bring traditional Italian recipes to life with a dash of Aussie spice and the best Australian produce (sourced from within 150 kilometres of each restaurant where possible).

With favourites like our Carbonara or Bolognese pasta, and Margherita or Barbeque Pollo pizza, you won't be disappointed! Dine with us today and experience a slice of Italy in Mt Gravatt.

We just moved to Brisbane and got recommended this place from family and we absolutely love it. We’ve been here 3 times now and each of them have been great. We love the atmosphere of the restaurant and love sitting in the upstairs dining area. We have tried a variety of their drinks and meals, and have loved every one. Personal favourites has to be the prawn Camberi pasta, the Nduja Diavola pizza (add burrata) and the pornstar martini. The staff are always so lovely and help with any questions you may have. Special shout out to the guy with the black hair that is the host at the Albert Lane location and Natalie, for being so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back and recommending it to others.
